This was a bit of a last minute effort as I had made plans to go out of town for the holiday weekend, but didn’t want to disappoint my friend who was hoping I could help bake a cake for her colleague’s birthday. So I went with a tried and tested, and pretty recipe. And to my surprise, it won me the #goldenmixerbadge on Twitter.

The recipe below is basically double portion of the original cake recipe, with some changes to the frosting.
